I was recently searching out a plugin for WordPress plugin that just allowed me to shorten or cloak URLs. I knew I could use this to manage all of my affiliate links in one place. I found a few plugins, which worked okay – but there was one major drawback… NONE of them listed the saved links in my blog post editor so I could easily input them into posts. As much of a blunder as that is – I new there had to be something out there that would work. And I finally found it!

Not only can I shorten affiliate links and easily insert them into posts, but I can easily manage all my links, track clicks and even create link campaigns. I can even have any keyword appearance in my entire blog automatically linked using one of my affiliate links.

Think about that for a minute.

This plugin goes through your entire blog, finds a keyword you tell it, and links that text to any URL you want! For instance, if you have an affiliate product related to Google AdSense – you could theoretically tell this plugin to link every instance of “Google AdSense” to your affiliate product.

This is the one WordPress plugin that actually makes your blog a passive income generator almost instantly after you set it up!

You can probably tell I’m excited about this, but it doesn’t even end there… below is a quick overview of the power this affiliate link management plugin gives you:

Create professional-looking short links.

Now you can easily create professional and short link like:
http://www.yourblog.com/go/CoolProduct or http://www.yourblog.com/recommends/CoolProduct or whatever you like, the choice is yours. It’s completely flexible and you can redirect them to any affiliate link you want.

Manage all your affiliate links in one central place.

You can group and manage all your affiliate links in one central place. That means you’ll have a clear overview of which affiliate program is doing good and which is not.

Also, if one affiliate program shuts their doors then you can easily change the link with another affiliate program anytime you like.

Track how many people are visiting your link and from where.

From the plugin’s management screen you can see exactly how many people have visited your link and also from where they’re coming. No guesswork trying to figure out which marketing effort is actually creating results.

Cloak your link so nobody steals your commission.

When you use a full affiliate link (you know, the long one with all the tracking code), there’s always a possibility that others can replace your affiliate information with their own and earn commissions instead of you. By using this plugin, you can stop the commission thieves right away so no one can ever steal your hard-earned commissions.

Turn keywords into links.

And, I’ve saved the best part for the last. The “Keyword to Link” feature – that means by using this plugin you can convert any keyword in your WordPress blog to an affiliate link which will passively earn you commission forever.

Good luck with your new and improved marketing!

A good (free) way to take screen shots, record on-screen video of your movements (screencasting), and get those pictures and videos to the masses has always been a pain.  There is some great paid software, but for free… a lot was left to be desired.

Then a couple months ago, I found Jing.

The free screen capture and screencast software is a development from TechSmith, the creators of the popular Camtastia Studio.  Although the application has a Pro (paid) version, the free software has become such a integral part of my work flow, I don’t think most of you will have a reason to upgrade from the free version.

Easy

This is what it’s all about for me.  As a web developer by day, I always have the need to share bits of my screen with others – so they can see exactly what I’m talking about.  With Jing, I just swipe across my screen to select the area I want to capture, and then save or copy the clipped image into an email.

You can also create short videos within the swiped boundry.  This allows me to show an action I’m doing without the person needing to be right behind me.  Though the Pro version has higher quality and longer time allowed, the free sofware, for me, is perfect.

I encourage you to take a look at their great features.  For a free screen capture program, I’ve yet to see anything that beats it.

I’ve seen lots of cool sites that allow you to send someone a file that may be too big for email.  What if you have 20 pictures from your camera you want to send to your brother?  You have a couple choices… either zip them up and hope your email client doesn’t reject them… you could go through one-by-one and re-size them down to emailable sizes… OR… you could use the site I just found: EatLime.

Just click “Add File” to keep adding files… up to 1GB!  Then send your buddy the link provided…. they’ll be lead to a simple-to-understand download page where they can download all the files seperately, or all at once.

Give it a try… it may just give you that extra boost of productivity you were looking for today!
